Wed Aug 26 10:00:38 CDT 2009
Slackware 13.0 x86_64 is released as stable! Thanks to everyone who
helped make this release possible -- see the RELEASE_NOTES for the
credits. The ISOs are off to the replicator. This time it will be a
6 CD-ROM 32-bit set and a dual-sided 32-bit/64-bit x86/x86_64 DVD.
We're taking pre-orders now at store.slackware.com. Please consider
picking up a copy to help support the project. Once again, thanks to
the entire Slackware community for all the help testing and fixing
things and offering suggestions during this development cycle.
As always, have fun and enjoy! -P.

It allows you to send and receive files +between two computers. There is the FTP server and the FTP client. We discuss the client +in this section.</p> + +<p>For the curious, the “client” is you. The “server” is the +computer that answers your FTP request and lets you login. You will download files from +and upload files to the server. The client cannot accept FTP connections, it can only +connect to servers.</p> + +<div class="SECT2"> +<h2 class="SECT2"><a id="AEN4871" name="AEN4871">13.9.1 <tt +class="COMMAND">ftp</tt></a></h2> + +<p>To connect to an FTP server, simply run the <tt class="COMMAND">ftp</tt>(1) command +and specify the host:</p> + +<table border="0" bgcolor="#E0E0E0" width="100%"> +<tr> +<td> +<pre class="SCREEN"> +<samp class="PROMPT">%</samp> <kbd class="USERINPUT">ftp <hostname> [port]</kbd> +</pre> +</td> +</tr> +</table> + +<p>If the host is running an FTP server, it will ask for a username and password. You can +log in as yourself or as “anonymous”. Anonymous FTP sites are very popular +for software archives. For example, to get Slackware Linux via FTP, you must use +anonymous FTP.</p> + +<p>Once connected, you will be at the <var class="LITERAL">ftp></var> prompt. There +are special commands for FTP, but they are similar to other standard commands. The +following shows some of the basic commands and what they do:</p> + +<div class="TABLE"><a id="AEN4883" name="AEN4883"></a> +<p><b>Table 13-1. <tt class="COMMAND">ftp</tt> commands</b></p> + +<table border="0" frame="void" class="CALSTABLE"> +<col width="1*" /> +<col width="3*" /> +<thead> +<tr> +<th>Command</th> +<th>Purpose</th> +</tr> +</thead> + +<tbody> +<tr> +<td><tt class="COMMAND">ls</tt></td> +<td>List files</td> +</tr> + +<tr> +<td><tt class="COMMAND">cd <dirname></tt></td> +<td>Change directory</td> +</tr> + +<tr> +<td><tt class="COMMAND">bin</tt></td> +<td>Set binary transfer mode</td> +</tr> + +<tr> +<td><tt class="COMMAND">ascii</tt></td> +<td>Set ASCII transfer mode</td> +</tr> + +<tr> +<td><tt class="COMMAND">get <filename></tt></td> +<td>Download a file</td> +</tr> + +<tr> +<td><tt class="COMMAND">put <filename></tt></td> +<td>Upload a file</td> +</tr> + +<tr> +<td><tt class="COMMAND">hash</tt></td> +<td>Toggle hash mark stats indicator</td> +</tr> + +<tr> +<td><tt class="COMMAND">tick</tt></td> +<td>Toggle byte counter indicator</td> +</tr> + +<tr> +<td><tt class="COMMAND">prom</tt></td> +<td>Toggle interactive mode for downloads</td> +</tr> + +<tr> +<td><tt class="COMMAND">mget <mask></tt></td> +<td>Download a file or group of files; wildcards are allowed</td> +</tr> + +<tr> +<td><tt class="COMMAND">mput <mask></tt></td> +<td>Upload a file or group of files; wildcards are allowed</td> +</tr> + +<tr> +<td><tt class="COMMAND">quit</tt></td> +<td>Log off the FTP server</td> +</tr> +</tbody> +</table> +</div> + +<p>You can also use some of the following commands which are quite self-explanatory: <tt +class="COMMAND">chmod</tt>, <tt class="COMMAND">delete</tt>, <tt +class="COMMAND">rename</tt>, <tt class="COMMAND">rmdir</tt>.
